Belneftekhim ( Belarusian Белнафтахім , Russian Белнефтехим ) is a Belarusian state-owned company with its headquarters in Minsk . The conglomerate describes itself as the "Belarusian state company for oil and chemicals" and claims to be one of the largest due to its activities in oil and gas production, refinery and pipeline operations, petrochemicals and the manufacture of synthetic fibers, fertilizers and tires Industrial conglomerates of the Republic of Belarus. Belneftekhim exports over 70% of its petrochemical production and sells its products in over 90 countries. Better known subsidiaries are mainly responsible for operational production within the group. The group's various subsidiaries include the tire manufacturer Belshina , the fertilizer manufacturer Grodno Azot , the oil company Belorusneft and the pipeline operator Gomel Transneft , who maintains the Belarusian part of the friendship pipeline . The fertilizer producer Belaruskali was spun off from the Belneftekhim conglomerate in 2014. The Belneftekhim Group has two large oil refineries in Mazyr and Navapolatsk .

In 2013, the Congressional Research Service found that Belneftekhim and its subsidiaries are responsible for 35% of all Belarusian exports and over 30% of Belarusian industrial production.

In April 2019, the operation of Belneftekhim refineries had to be cut back by 50%, as the Russian oil deliveries via the Druzhba pipeline had too high chloride values. The inferior oil could not be further processed directly because it was feared that the further processing facilities would be damaged.
